How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people identify patterns that show up in close connections and learn new ways to respond. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like impulsivity or anger by teaching small experiments and thought tracking.

Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and day-to-day challenges, then recommend approaches that fit. Sessions can combine methods so tools are tailored to what someone needs most, and the plan is revised as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they rely on homework, skills practice, and structured exercises that can be done between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques to the setting and help clients apply them in everyday life.
